Be it known that we, LEONKA NTToR and WILLIAMSHEFF, citizens of theUnited States,

residing at New York,in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in tral section.

Scarf-Pins, Brooches, and Similar Articles, of which the following is aspecification. Our invention relates to scarf pins, brooches and similararticies ofpersonal wear and its object-is to rovideadevice of this kindhaving reversib e faces and having one or more adjustable settingscapable of .being reversed so as to present different co bina 'tions ofthe stones or other ornamental features carried by the settings.

The invention is embodied in preferable form in the device hereinafterdescribed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

in which Figure l is a plan view of a-scarf-pin containing ourimprovements; Fig. 2, an edge View showing the intermediate memberturned half-way around; Fig. 3, a vertical central section, parallelwith the faces of the pm and Fig. 4, a horizontal ce n' head of theReferring to the drawings,-- 1 is the pin proper. .The 'head has anouter or border portion 2 of any desired configuration and preferablyprovided on both faces with suitable ornamentation. This outer portionis preferably formed of two parallel rings or bands 3, 4, joined atsuitable points by bridging pieces 5 either integral with the metal ofthe bands or formed of solder or other suitable connecting means. Eachof these bands constitutes a setting for stones or. otherornamentationfor the opposite faces of the outer border portion of thehead. W1thm this outer inclosing portion is mounted a rotatablyadjustable member 7, formed similarly to the outer portion of twoparallel bands 8, 9, each constituting a setting or base for stones orother suitable means of ornamentation on opposite faces of the member.The member has fixed thereto a diametrical pin 10 constituting an axisand the ends thereof forming trunnions which enter bearings in theoutside fixed border member 2, so that-the member 7 may be turned onthese trunnion's as an axis 'to rotate the member a complete revolutionand thus present either face thereof in front. A second ,rotatablyreversible member 11 similarly formed of i 1 sw etener Letters Patent. iApplication siea'nmhsa, 190;. Serial no. 428,595.

' bands or pieces 12, forming a double setting, is mounted within themember 7 by means of trunnions 13. These trunnions may enter bearings inmember 7 but preferably are mounted looselyv directly on the pin 10formmg the axis of member 7 as shown, the pro jecting ends of which pinform the trunmons for the said member.

The opposite faces of the fixed member and of the two reversiblemembers, may be respectively provided with different ornamentations ordifferent kinds of stones. By this arrangement it is rendered possible,by turning the inside member 11 around and similarly reversing themember; 7, to obtain eight different combinations of ornamental featureson the two faces of the .pin, thus enabling the-ap earance of the pin tobe changed to suit the taste of the-wearer.

The shank o the pin 1 may be conveniently attached,- to the head byinserting it between the two bands 3, 4, of the outside fixed member 2,and soldering it in such position. It is also clear that various changesin the construction of the various parts of the device and of the shapeand mode of ornamenting the pin head may be adoptedwitlb out departingfrom the principle of our invention.

' Having thus described our invention, what we claim is:

1 An ornamental wearing article such as a scarf-pin, brooch or similararticle having multiple shiftable faces bearing ornamental features andarranged to form complete interchangeable designs on either side of thearticle and in the same plane and a member fixed to the article forsecuring the same to the apparel, substantially as described.

' 2. An ornamental wearing article such as a scarf-pin, brooch orsimilar article having multiple shiftable faces formed by a rotatablemember reversible in a com lete circle and havin ornamental features tereon and an outer ed member having ornamental features and associatingwiththe reversible member to form different completedesigns on eitherface of the article in the same plane and said fixed member having a-pinfixed thereto for engagement with the apparel, substantially asdescribed.

3. An ornamental wearing article having a fixed outer member havingopposite orna-, mented faces and a pin fixed to said member and arotatable member mounted within the fixed member so asto swing'in acomplete circle and present either face in the same plane on either sideof the fixed member,

said rotatable member also having opposite ornamented faces, whereby anartic e having interchangeable faces forming different being reversibleto resent either face in the 15 same plane with eit er face o'fthe fixedmember, substantially as described.

5. Anornamental wearing article having a plurality of members, onewithin the other and eachhaving opposite ornamented faces and eachmember independently rotatable in acom lete circle to. resent eitherface on either si e, substantia y as described.

6; An ornamental wearing article having a-pin, an outer member fixed tosaid in, a member within the first member mova le to present differentdisplay faces on either side of the pin and a second similarly movablemember within the first movable member, said'diiferent dis lay vfaces ofsaid'two last mentioned movalgle members lyin in planes parallel toeither face of the flxe member, substantially as described.

ln testimony whereof we have affixed our signatures, in presence of twowitnesses.
